Github standard library?

[bigtunacan]

I know there are a lot of libraries, functions, add ons, tools, importers, etc... floating around here on the forums.  It is often a bit difficult to navigate; locate; and keep up to date a lot of these things as a group.  Would anyone be interested in starting a sort of GLBasic standard library out on Github as an open source repository?  If so I would be willing to set it up initially and administer, review, and help to keep it up to date and working.  If no one is interested though then I won't bother...

I think it´s a good Idea, but I think in the same forum can be do it... I think if gernnot open a closed thread and we organize like a computer folders, all can be very ordened....

Ace idea. Also, please tell me how to sync with git (for dummies) and we can write a tool that does the sync.

I think thats a great idea. Ive had to bookmark the forum a lot to try and keep track of things.

would be a good idea, I just recently started the bookmarking stuff, but I´m well behind everything people posted that should be usefull for me somehow

PS:.Hey, kitty is almost zeroying his post counts! I wonder if it is the first time:P (considering the forum can´t deal 10k)

[Kitty Hello]

A common code base for external libs would be great, yes. Maybe one project for all libs together?
Yes, I seem to have exceeded 10k posts, since 2000

10k again! congratulations!

Ok; I will setup a repository tonight after I get home from work.  I will put up basic set of instructions for how to sync/commit/etc...

Ok, I have created the basic GIT repo.  I have not yet uploaded any code to it, but I will start trying to get common libraries added from off of the forums here.  Anyone should be able to contribute and checkout too.

Once you have git installed on your machine here is what you need to do to get started.

1) From the command line cd into the directory where you want to pull the code down to.
2) Run this command "git clone https://github.com/bigtunacan/GLBasicSDL.git"
3) Any time you want to "get the latest version" you will just run "git pull" from the command line while in the directory


1) To add any of your changes back
2) git add .
3) git commit
4)  Add a message describing the change
5) git push

That is the basics and should serve for about 95% of usage you would need, if you want more info here are a couple of good links
